THE McNUTT FAMILY OF ROCKBRIDGE-Jno. McNutt, one of the first settlers of the county, married Catharine Anderson, in England, )a relative of Judge F. T. Anderson) came to America and settled on the farm now owned by Joseph Falls, on North river. They raised seven sons: Alex, Robert, John, Isaac, Benjamin, William and Joseph; and two daughters, Margaret and Rebecca. Robert died of wounds at the battle of Cowpens; John married Mary Lard; Isaac went to Red River, Louisiana; Benjamin moved to Tennessee, married and left a family; William married Betty Grigsby and lived in the county; Rebecca married twice, first John McCorkle, who died of wound at Cowpens, and afterwards Arthur Glasgow; Alexander McMutt married Rachel Grigsby, a daughter of John Grigsby; whose grave is the oldest in Falling Spring graveyard. By this marriage there were thirteen children, one of whom, Gallatin McNutt, was governor of Mississippi. One of the daughters, Elizabeth, married John Hamilton of Rockbridge. They raised two sons and five daughter, one of whom married Rev. Mr. Osborne, and was Mrs. Cress' mother. The descendants of Jno.
